Episode notes
How Low T Nearly Ended Their Marriage
- Josh lost ~60 pounds and his sex drive collapsed, which nearly led Katy to divorce him.
- A functional clinician ordered blood work revealing lipids, prediabetes, and testosterone ~200, sparking his health overhaul and eventual business idea.
Katy Found Testosterone Improved Her Thyroid
- Katy tried testosterone after experiencing anxiety, weight gain, and brain fog post-IVF and perimenopause, which improved her thyroid and energy.
- She credits testosterone with restoring function and later allowing her to taper off thyroid medication.
Start With Labs Before Peptides
- Get baseline labs before starting peptides or hormones to look under the hood and guide treatment.
- Josh recommends labs because peptide efficacy and safety depend on metabolic and lipid context, not social-media stacks.
